Fat Freddy's Drop: Marauders

Fat Freddy's Drop - Midnight Marauders
Fat Freddy's Drop - Roady
From Live at WOMAD 2003 [Bootleg!]

Aotearoa. New Zealand. There's 4 million of us at the bottom of the world, and some of us even play music.

So I'll share a few examples of what we kiwis get up to when we get down. Wellington band Fat Freddy's Drop has been around for almost five years. Reggae. Hip-Hop. Jazz. Dub. Dancehall. It's all in their mix somewhere. Although they've just released their first full-length album this month, I've chosen a genuine (so-rare-I-know-everyone-who-has-a-copy) bootleg of their March 2003 gig at WOMAD in New Plymouth, New Zealand.

A perfect time-capsule of a great day out in the sun. If you want to hear more, listen to Gilles Peterson's BBC show online, or buy their album Based on a True Story online.


Never let your love run cold.
